Vince the budgie has a nightmare in this early "Noodles".

The adventures of Vince the budgie continue with another early installment of "Noodles", apparently featuring the local classic rock station.

The next several posts will be of Scott Breier's early work ... a non-color strip featuring the adventures of Vince the budgie.  (Don't worry, I still have more of his color panels to feature at a later time.)

Margaret Shulock of the Six Chix provides today's bird humor, from July 22, 2014.

A slightly different twist on the clichéd pirate-with-parrot theme, this time from Speed Bump on February 20, 2011:

Probably the most-missed of the comics that used to grace the newspaper but no longer do is Calvin & Hobbes.  Although the bird references were usually caught up in something Calvin's imagination had dreamed up, I have saved a handful and offer them as a very occasional special treat.  First up: February 14, 1987.

Two cartoonists are our favorites because of their support of animal rescue ... Dan Piraro, who draws Bizarro and Patrick McDonnell, who draws Mutts.  The latter usually does a week of "shelter stories" strips sometime in the course of the year to encourage adoption of shelter and rescue animals.  Today's strip is one of his bird-related shelter stories, from November 5, 2013.
